I've been to Tucson a few times but wondering if there are any incredible restaurants I've missed or fun places/attractions/hikes I've missed.

San Xavier mission just south of town is amazing. If you've never visited the towns south towards the border, they're interesting as well, places like Tubac and over towards Tombstone.

And I think the Pima Museum offers bus tours through the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB

Second this ... even my wife loved it. The 390th Memorial Museum, out back at Pima, is an awesome tribute to the crews that flew B-17s in World War II.

We also enjoyed Sabino Canyon. Took the tram tour because I was lazy.

We had a very nice meal at Cielos, outside on the patio.

The Titan Missile Museum south of Tucson is a fantastic experience. The only remaining Titan Missile silo, with an inert/inactive missile still in place.

Not handicap accessible, if that's a factor for you, since it's still an intact silo with below ground operations center that you climb down multiple stairs to, just like they did when it was active.

El Charro is classic Tucson and pretty good. Charro Steak downtown is really good. La Indita is a great hole in the wall type spot that is a Native American/Mexican fusion….very unique and very good.

For food, the Flying V at Loews is decent. Their tableside-made guacamole was fantastic.

We really do need to visit the Pima air museum. Have never been there. I bet the leaves have already changed their colors on mt Lemmon.

PASM is actually a conglomerate of three museums. Besides the Air & Space, there is also a military vehicle museum located just behind the PASM, and there is also the Titan Missile Museum located a short drive away in Green Valley. All are definitely worth seeing, IMO.

If you decide you want to see the Titan Missile Museum and happen to go during the Christmas school break, you will want to make reservations. They can only accommodate a certain number of people per tour, and they can get pretty busy at this particular time.

All three museums are very easy to get to, and have plenty of parking. If you go during the Summer, get there when they open.
